In regards to the meaning of this song:
Before a live performance on the EP Five Stories Falling, Geoff states “It’s about the last time I went to visit my grandmother in Columbus, and I saw that she was dying and it was the last time I was going to see her. It is about realizing how young you are, but how quickly you can go.”
That’s the thing about Geoff and his sublime poetry, you think it’s about one thing, but really it’s about something entirely different. But the lyrics are still universal and omnipresent, ubiquitous, even. So relatable. That’s one thing I love about this band. I also love their live performances, raw energy and Geoff’s beautiful, imperfectly perfect vocals. His voice soothes my aching soul.
I think it was a Sunday morning, clouds in the skies
Smiles on the faces of people walking by.
There was no reason to be sad
No reason to complain.
If you saw the sunrise, you'd probably understand a little more.
I can't wait
To be introduced to the only one that matters.
Say that you love me
Say they you're mine
Say that you'll be there 'til the end.
There were cracks in the streets
And oceans between us
I saw lice in your hair
It's a lazy summer day, yeah!
I've got two plane tickets
Two plane tickets to Paris
I've got two plane tickets
Two plane tickets right outta town.
I will always wait for you
And I'll divide the ocean in two
So you can have a path to me
I will always wait.
Smiles on the faces of people walking by.
There was no reason to be sad
No reason to complain.
If you saw the sunrise, you'd probably understand a little more.
I can't wait
To be introduced to the only one that matters.
Say that you love me
Say they you're mine
Say that you'll be there 'til the end.
There were cracks in the streets
And oceans between us
I saw lice in your hair
It's a lazy summer day, yeah!
I've got two plane tickets
Two plane tickets to Paris
I've got two plane tickets
Two plane tickets right outta town.
I will always wait for you
And I'll divide the ocean in two
So you can have a path to me
I will always wait.

The Night We Met
Lord Huron
Lord Huron
This is a hauntingly beautiful song about introspection, specifically about looking back at a relationship that started bad and ended so poorly, that the narrator wants to go back to the very beginning and tell himself to not even travel down that road. I believe that the relationship started poorly because of the lines:
"Take me back to the night we met:When the night was full of terrors: And your eyes were filled with tears: When you had not touched me yet"
So, the first night was not a great start, but the narrator pursued the relationship and eventually both overcame the rough start to fall in love with each other:
"I had all and then most of you"
Like many relationships that turn sour, it was not a quick decline, but a gradual one where the narrator and their partner fall out of love and gradually grow apart
"Some and now none of you"
Losing someone who was once everything in your world, who you could confide in, tell your secrets to, share all the most intimate parts of your life, to being strangers with that person is probably one of the most painful experiences a person can go through. So Painful, the narrator wants to go back in time and tell himself to not even pursue the relationship.
This was the perfect song for "13 Reasons Why"

Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.
okay.. it's semi right but you got the spelling and some of the lyrics wrong...
I think it was a Sunday morning, clouds in the skies. Smiles on the faces of people walking by.
There was never any reason to be sad, No reason to complain.
If you saw the sunrise, you'd probably understand a little more.
I can't wait To be introduced to the only one that matters.
Say that you love me, Say they you're mine. Say that you'll be there 'til the end.
Say that you love me, Say that you're mine, Say that you'll be there 'til the end..
There were cracks in the streets, And oceans between us. I saw lights in your hair, It's a lazy summer day, yeah.
I've got two plane tickets, Two plane tickets to Paris. I've got two plane tickets, Two plane tickets right outta town.
Say that you love me, Say that you're mine. And say that you'll be there 'til the end..
Say that you love me, say that you're mine, say that you'll be there 'til the end of time, yeah.
Say that you love me, Say that you're mine. say that you'll be there til the end...
Just say that you love me, girl Just say that you're mine Say that you'll be there 'til the end
I will always wait for you and only by the ocean in two so you can have her back to me I will always wait.
...that last verse, I'm unsure of but that's what I hear.
